[Nexus 7 General] IIHomieII:
You can go with the 3.5mm headset jack but you will be disappointed. I ran the galaxy tab just like you said with the 3.5mm headphone jack it has into a ground loop isolator (to avoid ground loop noise when charging) to my head unit. Every car is different in that the manufacturer may or may not have properly grounded the wiring to the factory head unit. I went thought numerous tests and the only to avoid ground loops was to go with a power source other than my vehicles. Even running straight off the battery from the tablet through my after market stereo to my amp using no internal speakers or internal wiring, I STILL had issues with ground loops. The only thing that broke the loop for me was to use a DC/AC converter and that lowered it to an acceptable (barely) level of ground loop noise. New battery, new alternator, nothing made it go away completely and its not unique to my vehicle. Just warning you that you could be chasing down interference forever. There are solutions like these little Power supplies used by hobbiests onRC airplanes that are around $20. That are suppose to be the cure for this. Its the only thing I never tried.

Now..

The nexus 7 (I have 2 of them) both give off crackling and hissing from the headset. One 16gb one 32gb. Same problem on both. That is why using the headset out will definitely fail the quality test. Using the non amplified internal speaker you may or may not notice it. Amplification brings it out clearly though.

Test this by plugging your Nexus into any amplifier with or without charging (not a ground loop problem) and though some say you can turn off the key press noise too that did not make any difference with my 2 tablets. Sometimes I don't get the noises at all but play a song and when paused or stopped you should hear it almost right away. This is why many have used the USB to external DAC. It bypasses the crappy on board DAC and headset jack. This is also why I am going to get one of those docks mentioned in the post above.

Not trying to scare you but if you want quality sound with your quality hardware, this is a must.

I hope you don't have the interference problems that lots of people have but testing it on your home stereo or any amplifier will save you alot of trouble.

That being said the Nexus 7 in the car is the best media solution dollar/performance/features ratio that I know of..

Good luck

And you pick up a decent dac and otg cable for less than 50 bucks,and it sounds alot better and no ground loop issues.
[Nexus 7 General] hunterx82:
How do those of you with this N7 setup solve these issues that I have had in my head as I think about doing an install.

How do you utilize the CD changer that is already setup in the car. Do you just get rid of it and utilize that space? I never use it currently, but my wife may once in a while.

Local FM/AM radio (traffic or weather). I guess you're stuck using satellite for traffic/weather unless you can find a stable feed on apps like last.fm? What would the solution be if we aren't tethering, obviously I can't run that app.

I'm thinking the N7 would be awesome for me, since I tether. But my wife isn't into much of that so if she is driving the car without me she would have to rely on locally stored music.

I always tether so I can't recall, does the GPS update as you are driving without data? I thought you had to cache your map/directions before you started.

"Local FM/AM radio (traffic or weather). I guess you're stuck using satellite for traffic/weather unless you can find a stable feed on apps like last.fm? What would the solution be if we aren't tethering, obviously I can't run that app."

If you read the whole thread, he explains how he gets FM through his tablet pretty thoroughly. With a usb dvb-t/ antenna and SDR touch.apk . It's no longer in the play store but there is a link somewhere in this thread.

So based on suggestions and a little searching, I've decided on a solution to my setup. I'm going to USB DAC > ground loop isolator > 7 band EQ > 5 ch amp. The list of equipment I've decided on is:

USB DAC- Behringer UCA222

Ground loop isolator- Pyramid NS21

7 band EQ- Cadence Acoustics CEQ-773

AMP - RE Audio XTX-500.5 amp

I think this will solve an issue the op had of having single left and right output as well as provide an actual worthwhile EQ. I intend to run buttons for power and volume but the EQ will also give me an option for volume and bass control. (Not mention the bass control remote from the amp which I probably won't have a use for.)

I found that DAC on a list of working DACs somewhere as well as a review that said it was great for the low price point. Also, for the price it doesn't effect the purchase of the EQ.
[Nexus 7 General] IIHomieII:
Ok.. I'm only confused on 1 thing everyone acts like an external microphone is a big deal. Is this because when you use a USB DAC that the internal microphone no longer works or does the internal microphone still work when using an external USB DAC?
[Nexus 7 General] Kuchar09:
Nothing special needed! Timurs USBROM has the mounting stuff built in.

The internal mic works with a DAC as long as your using Timurs USBROM not just his kernel. I guess it just depends on how loud your car is and if it picks up your voice being mounted behind the dash.

My exhaust is very loud due to my cracked manifold which mad the internal mic pointless.
[Nexus 7 General] eastside770:
Really bc it doesn't pick up my hard drive without stickmount.
[Nexus 7 General] Kuchar09:
yupp... I actually had major issues with using stick mount with USBROM.
[Nexus 7 General] IIHomieII:
I have tried researching and can only get mixed results from all the sites that touch on Bluetooth streaming that are current for 2012 - 2013 bluetooth devices.

I want to know if Bluetooth (which is lossless audio these days) bypasses the phone/tablets DAC. I know this can be achieved via USB but some sites say YES and others say NO.

I have 4 tablets total and 4 phones, all Android. I get mixed quality results with each device connected to my 2 Bluetooth head units. ( 2 different brand/model head units in 2 different vehicles).

I have fantastic quality using either Nexus 7 tablet connected to the JVC head unit.

Its so good I am going to get another JVC for the other car and ditch the other head unit.

Both of the Nexus 7 tablets have distortion over the 3.5mm jack when using either head unit. (with or without music playing and volume makes no difference)

I know it is hit and miss with Bluetooth receivers and senders matching up together for streaming audio but the JVC has a 24 bit DAC and I assume this is why the quality of sound is improved because Bluetooth is passing the signal over to the JVC DAC.

I also read one theory that bluetooth passes DSP along only and perhaps it is just the signal processing in the JVC that is supperior hence the quality difference.

Confused on Bluetooth bypassing the internal source DAC.

Either way the quality is superior to the 3.5mm jack and the simplicity is there too..

(simple install tips for first timers)

I just dismounted my stereo in both vehicles and moved the stereo back into the dash about 1 inch. (thickneses of the tablet) and always used the 3.5mm input. Any one can do this type of install. The JVC unit is less than a $100. so makes it easy for anyone to gut the current head unit and install a tablet with their current speakers.

I also ran a $12 infared repeater from the head unit (hidden directly behind the tablet) and hid the other end in an air conditioner vent so I can still flip through radio stations, turn on/off the stereo and control its volume from the included JVC remote.

Again anyone can do this cheap. I got the 16gb Nexus 7 for $153 on sale and the JVC for $85.

Wires and everything is under $300 total..

Mind you I added alot more than just that to my system, like an amp, subwoofers, and more in one of my vehicles but the $300 setup was just fine for my wife and a great tablet starter kit that you can build on later if you want to go as high tech as the OP.

So... does Bluetooth bypass source DAC ??
[Nexus 7 General] timmgrimm:
OP- So I've watched both of your powering video's (which took forever because I'm deployed.) And you talk about wiring each section (I.e. tablet, hub 1, hub 2) to different amounts of amperage as well add two to ignition and one to constant. I understand the need to to wire the tablet to a certain amperage for charging, but how did you determine the level for the hubs. Is this necessary? I am a complete novice when it comes to wiring. I was planning on wiring a dual 12v car socket to the radio power and ground from the factory stereo those tying into the ignition switch and then plugging in all usb's into those two sockets. Is there a flaw in this? Did you use sockets to tap into the power or did you connect any usb's straight to car wiring? Why did you run one hub as constant? I realize I could find some constant wire but am worried just randomly cutting into my trucks wiring.

I've scoured the net to find information about "messing" with car writing but it's been fairly difficult finding anything of worth. The only thing of substance I've found is this video. If anyone has any suggested reading, I would seriously appreciate it.

Also, what buttons did you use to externalize the power and volume? Thanks for all your help

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------

For my 2¢, I'd be willing to bet that it bypasses. It should only be sending data that the head unit then processes producing audio. Just my thoughts.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jonnyth3boy:
Hello there,

I'm fairly new to unlocking/rooting/android. I want to root my Transformer TF700. I've followed the "ALL IN ONE ASUS TRANSFORMER GUIDE" to no avail. I was on JB but downgraded to ICS 4.0.3 in order to root. I have USB debugging enabled and installation of unknown sources apps. Here's what ends up happening: I run Debugfs.bat as an admin, choose option one, proceed through the next two screens and right after the second screen the entire program shuts down. Nothing happens to my tablet, no reboot, no installations. Anyone, please help me solve this.

Serious amounts of props and kudos to the solvee. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Is your device responded to the Debugfs script? like did it reboot your computer when the script called for a reboot?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jonnyth3boy:
solved

Turns out that when I'd run the .bat as an admin the program would quit. I tried the program as a normal user in a "what the hell" moment and the program ran perfectly. Go figure. Now rooted and enjoying though. :)

Thanks for trying buhohitr, will thank for assist.

i tried to root my phone using odin but when it rebooted it stopped at the galaxy screen. i cant go into download mode. i tried to factory reset and cear the cache but nothing works. i dont have cwm on the phone because the instructions i followed to root the phone didnt say i did. please help me. anything else i can do ?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
Yes. Search. Before posting. Search here and here.

You have flashed a gingerbread kernel on ICS which is why you are stuck at the boot screen. Flash CWM in odin and wipe everything and then flash any rom of your choice, or check here for how to get back to stock (to then upgrade back to stock ICS via KIES or get ICS directly from samsung) and then here for ICS root instructions.

I think maybe tomorrow when I have a few minutes I will create a thread titled 'soft brick, bootloop, odin repartition, etc fixes' to sticky. It would be helpful...

[Asus Transformer TF700] gsxrfl1k6:
Hey everyone,

Although I only have a couple of posts, I've been lurking in the shadows on XDA for awhile now soaking up knowlege about ROMS, tweaking, etc for my S3 and my new TF700T. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot to contribute on those fronts, but wanted to share a new product for our tablets - BestSkinsEver full body skins for the tablet and the dock (the product itself isn't new, but it's availability for the Infinity is).

They didn't have them listed specifically, so I contacted them and ended up sending in my personal Infinity and dock to have it designed. They skinned mine for free and sent it back.

Let me just say - I've tried pretty much every skin (screen and or body) for my Galaxy S3 and, in my opinion, they have the best fit - their cut is absolutely perfect and precise in every way. Their cut is perfect around holes and ports, etc, and they don't leave large cut outs when there are ports near each other, but actually wrap their films around the holes. The film is almost prefectly smooth, with only the slightest orange peel that is only perceivable when viewing from an angle. The film for the Infinity is no exception - perfect fit. To top it all off they're the least expensive (other than ebay junk). If you like to go naked like I do, but also like to not have to worry about scratches, a skin is the way to go. Apparently, they also have a matte finish option for the body which they did on mine that compliments the brushed aluminum well.

I have no affiliation with the company, I just wanted to throw this little review out there - I like to support good companies with good products and show another good option for the Infinity.
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
Thanks for the tip!

It looks like your description made me want to buy this! ;)

But could you maybe post some pictures of it, because I can't see anything on their website ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] gsxrfl1k6:
It appears they just posted it up on their website. If you look at the images for the TF201, they show more clearly what is included and how they cover. I couldn't really get any useful pics since the skins are virtually undetectable on camera. Although here's a pic showing the cutouts around the rear camera. Hope that helps.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rmkbow:
How are the corners? I haven't used these wet protectors for a couple years now but always started peeling at the corners and eventually just removed it because it looked bad.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gsxrfl1k6:
Corners are good so far. I've never really had a problem with their skins lifting on my S3, which I've had for quite a while now. I'm careful with my gadgets though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Thanx for the info!

Descent pricing.

Hindsight I am wishing there was a skin on my tab before today.

I scratched the corner earlier...first ding ever since July.

[Motorola Atrix 2] rohitrockon17:
Hello Guys,

I tried installing the Xperia Z launcher on my Atrix 2 (Leaked JB 4.1.2 for Taiwan+HK version) and it worked like a charm. Used it for a day and was very happy with the way the launcher responded on the device. So i took a backup from CWM, as i was flashing the updated version of JB 4.1.2. However once i got on to the newer version of JB, I was never able to install this launcher again. While installing from recovery it works fine but after booting to the main screen i dont get anything now :(..I have tried moving back to ICS 2 times and also on 1st update of JB but was never able to get this launcher :(:crying: .... In short i flashed my phone 5 times just to get this launcher but it doesn't work..Also did this continuously for 26 hours:(...Can anyone help by trying on their cell and let me know if it works or not..Because i cannot understand why it installed fine at the first go and since then was never able to install it.

Please if someone can help me getting this launcher into this beast, i would be really grateful..
